I run into this cave by accident. Can anyone confirm this is a lava tube ?

[+4] - rosborne979 - 02/17/2017It could be a lava tube. But it could also have been a water tube. Or it could have been smoothed by wave action. Where is it located? Is there hardened lava nearby?

@Yasmine B,

I also think it looks more like a water tube. Maybe once an artesian well draining water from a higher elevation.

@rosborne979,

there are volcanics in Morocco(I did work in the bou Azzer district) but they are old and folded up. So Im wondering if this isnt an adit in some basaltic trap mine .
